I don't understand the assertion that numbers are more useful than bullets in this disambiguation page. What is the useful meaning of the fact that an obscure British rock band is numbered "4" whereas an asteroid discovered two centuries ago is numbered "5"? What useful information does "4" give us? I've changed them so that they may be closer to chronological, but even now, someone my insert another meaning of the word Pallas between the 4th and 5th, so that the one that was 5th becomes 6th. What useful information comes from knowing that it's 5th in the list, when next week it could become 6th as a result of some unrelated topic getting listed there?

In some cases, order of significance may be the best way, especially when the different meanings of the word are unrelated (in some cases -- lot's of cases, actually -- people have written about very much related meanings of a word while apparently thinking they were altogether unrelated; convention, for example, and many others). In other cases, the earlier meanings can explain the later one, so chronology is edifying.
The article Pallas has essentially turned into another disambiguation page (with some expanded info). Perhaps it should be combined with this page, and stubs could be made of any noteworthy Pallas. - Ravenous 19:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
In line with Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Page naming conventions I've moved "Pallas (disambiguation)" to "Pallas". DrKiernan 16:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
